Quick thoughts:

Fashion Police Squad

8/10

Old time shooter with a nice sense of humor. Treating “fashion police” as a real armed forces is utilized well, and the story is fun and extremely cheesy. I loved enemies design, the guns are creative too. Every enemy has a special gun to which he is vulnerable, so you are maniacly switching between guns to shoot different enemies. All in all I had suprising amount of good time with it.

Don't Touch this Button!

6/10

Very simple puzzle game, with some clever puzzles and minimalistic graphics. Another example of the fact, that you can make a nice game with minimal budget, if you have a good idea. Also very short, but the pricing is absolutely fair.

The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark

6/10

Second part of the game about two detectives solving unnatural mysteries. It’s just more of the same stuff from the first game - ghosts, vampires, demons, eldritch horrors, silly humor. It’s perfectly fine, if you enjoyed the first part.

BORE BLASTERS

7/10

A digging game about dwarves in space, because why not. You have your little ship, you are digging minerals, you upgrading your ship to gid more minerals and fight some underground enemies. It was very fun for the majority of game, but the ending dragged a bit - last hour or two it was just me finishing grindy objectives in my totally maxed out ship.

The Entropy Centre

6/10

It’s basically a Portal clone. With a bit different mechanic, but the similarities are obvious - gameplay structure, AI companion, kind of humor… entropy gun is not a portal gun, and riddles were sometimes a bit tedious, to the point, where I was glad, when I was getting to walking sim/storytelling parts. There is also so much “extra” stuff, that you can clearly see, that devs didn’t have enough ideas how to utylised their mechanics, so they were throwing more and more new gameplay elements at you… But in all the game is not bad. It just has veeery big shoes to feel in this particular genre.

Mail Time

5/10

Kinda 3D platformer in a little open world, but mostly “fetch quest - the game”, where you are running from character to character to give them stuff and take orders for more stuff. Cute, easy, a bit shallow. Not an awful game, but kinda forgetable.
